My name is Skip and I'm basically in the Portland Ore. metro area. I just bought a '99 1500 that shows right at 14500 miles on it. Seems to run, shift and brake o-k. I don't know much regarding these, especially the FI, but have long been hooked on the look of the drifter.
So -- right outta the box, this motorcycle came without the correct fuel cap on it. (somebody had found a cap that was close then wrapped it in tape and jamed in, sittin' pretty loose) (now, I have no idea what may or may not have happened to the correct one. The guy I got it from bought that way so he said, and I want to believe him. It plain doesn't matter at this point)
I measured it and installed a rubber expansion plug in it, but, it seemed to build pressure in there and while I am kinda redneck hillbilly, I have a healthy respect (fear?) for gasoline and pressurized containers!
And of course I COULD go to the kow dealer and order one -- the better part of a Franklin -- but as with most everybody else $$$ are a consideration. Is/are there interchange parts, other models of Kawasaki's that could fit? Same question on exhaust -- (though not neer as important to me: I want my fuel tank capped securely!)
I will get more familure with the different areas of the board, but mainly wanted to be able to shop for a fuel tank cap, maybe from whatever model at the various online motorcycle wrecking yards.
Thats enough for today
Thanks in advance for the info --- Skip
